A Clinical Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Activity of Oral SRT2104 Capsules Administered for 28 Days to Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Summary

Randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind, multiple-dose, activity and safety clinical study of SRT2104 administered orally once daily for 28 consecutive days. This will be an inpatient/outpatient study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of SRT2104 in type 2 diabetic male and female subjects on an existing, stable, background metformin therapy. Approximately 80 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be evenly randomized to receive SRT2104 2.0 g/day or placebo in the fed state. Subjects will be required to stay overnight at the study center on Days -2, -1, 0, 1 (optional discharge at investigator's discretion), 27, 28, 41, and 42. During these admissions, pharmacokinetic, biomarker and glycated albumin samples will be collected, and glucose profiling, OGTT, glucose stabilization, hyperinsulinemc euglycemic clamp (HEGC) studies with indirect calorimetry and various other safety and activity procedures will be performed. On Day 1 of the study, subjects will be randomized to receive SRT2104 or placebo. Day 43 will be the last day of the study and subjects will be released. In addition, subjects will be asked to return to the study center on Day 14 for interim safety assessments. During the dosing period, study personnel will contact subjects by telephone on Days 7 and 21 to conduct a safety assessment. Subjects will be required to monitor their fasting blood glucose and complete a daily diary for the outpatient portion of the study between Days 1 and 28. A follow-up, safety phone call will occur 30 days following their final dose of SRT2104 or placebo (Day 58 of the study) to identify any possible additional adverse events or concomitant medications.
